For Tiketti employees, responsibility is not a campaign but a permanent state of being. Part of Tiketti's responsibility work also involves continuous development, learning, and critical self-examination. Tiketti also aims to influence its surroundings by sharing learnings and information.

Tiketti has been awarded altogether 11 times as the ticket seller of the year at Music x Media Industry Gala, which is a matter of pride for Tiketti. Tiketti's mission is to continue to be the most awarded and genuinely caring partner in the event industry.

Positive Impact Finland

Positive Impact is a full-service sustainability agency dedicated to the well-being of the planet and all its species.

KEMUT network

In 2020, prominent Finnish live music organisations set out to build a more sustainable music industry together. The resulting KEMUT (Toolkit for a more sustainable live music industry) network aims to provide concrete sustainability tools for the music industry and to encourage the live music community to become more climate-friendly.

Within the framework of the KEMUT network projects, digital tools are being developed, common indicators and targets for the sector are being defined, and suitable calculators are being designed for tracking and reducing carbon emissions. Music industry actors will be encouraged to produce and consume music experiences in a more sustainable and climate-friendly way, also through communication and education.

In January 2021, the network released a report on eco-sustainability practices in the live music sector on its website, followed by a collaboration with industry stakeholders to create a plan for calculating the carbon footprint of live music in autumn 2021.

In 2022, the network's projects included constructing Elma, a digital planning, education and information sharing platform for the live music sector, as well as measuring the carbon footprint of the Finnish live music sector.

Finland’s Live Music Climate Roadmap and the study on the sector’s climate impact were published in June 2023.

The KEMUT network engages the live music community in sustainability efforts. The network's steering group includes the following members:

The work of the network is coordinated and managed by coordinator Anu Ahola and research manager Merja Hottinen.

Supporters

The funding for building the digital platform, Elma.live, has been provided by the European Union, the MES Music Promotion Foundation, the Foundation for the Promotion of Performing Arts, and the KEMUT network members. Elma's partners in 2023–2024 are Positive Impact Finland and Tiketti.
